I bought the new book by Omar El Akkad
“One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.” More out of solidarity than to actually read it. And also his bestseller “American War”

This is not a novel, but this is how it will be. Mexico will take back #Texas and #California, and the #South will rise up after decades of humiliation. And the #Yankees will live in gated communities and continue to tell themselves that they are the good guys.

Only no one will trust you anymore.
In Germany the people said "Wir wussten es nicht" - “We didn't know.”

It was certainly a lie, but perhaps some really didn't know. Now, however, everyone knows! No one can say they didn't know when the children were murdered. Again. Take note, those who don't want to see it. This time, they won't get away with it.

"Acclaimed author #OmarElAkkad writes a powerful reflection [on] #WesternHypocrisy over #Gaza in his book, #OneDayEveryoneWillHaveAlwaysBeenAgainstThis. We speak to El Akkad on the immense suffering that has occurred over the past two years of #Israel's genocidal war and examine how #WesternLiberals failed the people of Gaza."

Akkad has been a writer/journalist covering the horrors of conflict and politics for many years, but the Gaza genocide has provoked this account, this argument, against the mythology of Western moral rightness. Bracing.

"... to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But... there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now.... You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children?..." #OmarElAkkad
/HT @emaytch and #JeffreyStClair

A photo of two paragraphs from a book, _One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This_, by Omar El Akkad, the text is: 

 "There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self interest. To say: These horrors you are allowing to happen, they will come to your doorstep one day; to repeat the famous phrase about who they came for first and who they'll come for next. But this appeal cannot, in matter of fact, work. If the people well served by a system that condones such butchery ever truly believed the same butchery could one day be inflicted on them, they‘ tear the system down tomorrow. And anyway, by the time such a thing happens, the rest of us will already be dead."
"No, there is no terrible thing coming for you in some distant future, but know that a terrible thing is happening to you now. You are being asked to kill off a part of you that would otherwise scream in opposition to injustice. You are being asked to dismantle the machinery of a functioning conscience. Who cares if diplomatic expediency prefers you shrug away the sight of dismembered children? Who cares if great distance from the bloodstained middle allows obliviousness. Forget pity, forget even the dead if you must, but at least fight against the theft of your soul."

/HT #JeffreyStClair FB account, I think those posts end up in his "Roaming Charges" column on the counterpunchOrg site.

From the photo Jeffrey StClair posted to facebook of two paragraphs written by Omar El Akkad. The Freedom Software tesseract seems to have worked really well, after an  emacs keyboard macro helped to remove the line-breaks within the paragraphs the text from the book in the photo is:

"There is an impulse in moments like this to appeal to self interest.
